Do they think "back-firing" literally means the bullet shoots out backward and kill you?
Lol. ??????

This is my point though. He's fucked up Rick so much that I would rather Rick be killed off than have this crap. It's not okay for me.
Yes! Kill Rick and keep Carl and start over

I'd be excited about Maggie and Daryl's plot to take down Rick if they weren't stupid enough to include Jesus of all people. The only possible worse choice they could have made for a co-conspirator is Michonne, Rick's girlfriend who'll never turn on him. So they're juuuuuust smart enough to know that to take down Rick they also have to take down Michonne, but not smart enough to know Jesus will never be able to go through with all this?
I figure this sets up for the near-inevitable exits of Danai and Lauren - Michonne will die saving Rick from the coup, and the attempt at a coup will end with Maggie's death (perhaps at Michonne's hand just as Michonne dies). Lauren will be free for her show and Danai will be free for Avengers, her plays, etc.
Negan, of course, will continue to live and speechify. I will not be listening. Or watching.
You are so correct.
Jesus annoyed the devil out of me. I was so hoping he would die a vicious horrible death but it never happened.
And yeah, I’m done too.
I am an economist, and I am just flabbergasted and shocked producers would destroy such a golden property? I mean when the ep ended I was just scratching my head wtf? ?

This season had one job. ONE JOB. And it fucked it up.
This is it for me, guys. I don't recognize any of these characters anymore. I'm done. DONE.
Peace out.
Yeah. That was bad! Really bad. For a show that was once great, it’s been increasingly goofy and disjointed for a couple seasons at least.
Honestly, I found myself rooting for Neagan. The ending was something out of a lifetime movie. I’m sure there’s multiple reasons, but talk about screwing up a show .
I am with you though. I’m done. It’s become too stupid.

“ I'm sorry Marcus, but to just find out that one's spouse has a $500,000 dollar debt (much of it at a 40% interest rate) that she never bothered to tell him about..”
Yeah, if I was married, that would require a divorce.

I’m a bit late to the party here (just watched the ep) but I thought I would leave a few thoughts.
This was probably the most lame episode ever. Not the worst business, but the worst episode. It begs the question whether it was just some “filler“ episode they slapped on TV while they were filming real episodes?
It also, to a limited degree, tarnished my perception of the show. I think it is a grave strategic mistake for the show to go the “celebrity route“ where actors become the stars. It is obvious to me Marcus treated her differently than non-celeb owners. This sort of thing lowers my respect for him and faith in the show.
Yes, I know “Reality TV“ isn’t real, and that it really should be called “unscripted TV”. But even unscripted TV is still choreographed, and in this episode the choreography was way too invasive. Such episodes stain the integrity of the show.
It is also clear she almost certainly did the show for its “advertising affect“. Reportedly, her net worth is approximately $3 million, so it’s not like she was facing poverty. She can easily cover the relatively small deficits that the business is suffering, and she didn’t really need Marcus, and I strongly suspect did not really want him either.
Moving onto Monica Potter herself, first, I am shocked that an actor would let themselves be in such a situation. Brand is everything in that business. To be honest, she reminds me of a woman I used to date (for about 6mo) several years ago. Later, I found out she had been diagnosed with something called “borderline personality disorder“, which best I can tell means, “we really don’t know why you’re so narcissistic, selfish, hateful, dramatic, and controlling..so we invented this label for such cases..”. Second, the way she treated her sister was appalling. No thoughtfulness, no empathy... just an “ I am Monica Potter, and you are *just* her sister, don’t ever forget that..” sort of hatefulness. Third, her “woe is me“ self-sacrificial perception of herself, honestly made me wonder if she was going to hop up on a cross and ask somebody to drive some nails into her hands. Utterly distasteful. Before this episode, I would have rated her a B-list actress. After the episode, I’m thinking more C-list. Regardless, at least on the show, she came across in a very poor light, at least by my values.
Lastly, I have a question, perhaps I just missed the answer because I was being triggered by Monica Potter. Marcus wrote her a check for $100,000 (yeah, we know that “the check“ is a prop primarily), and I don’t remember the show showing anything about him getting his money returned?

Interesting. I hated the ending. Reminded me of Opey and Andy Griffith. Was waiting for the “whistle music”. :(
